New Jersey’s gaming sector experienced robust growth in June 2025, generating a total revenue of $581.6 million, reflecting an 18.4% year-over-year surge, according to data released by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE). This positive trend continued the upward trajectory observed throughout the second quarter of the year, with gains across all three primary sectors: casinos, online gaming (iGaming), and sports betting.
Casino revenue reached $259 million, a 6.1% year-on-year increase. While slot machine revenue saw a minor decrease of 0.7%, totaling $182.8 million, table games revenue experienced significant growth, climbing 26.9% to $76.2 million. Among individual casino properties, the Borgata led with $76.7 million in revenue (a 19.4% increase), followed by Ocean Casino at $43.5 million (up 30.1%). Caesars reported a more modest 7.4% increase to $20.5 million, while Hard Rock Atlantic City saw a slight decline of 5.5% to $45.8 million. Despite the weaker slot machine performance, the majority of major operators demonstrated stable or improved overall casino results.
The iGaming sector continued its expansion, generating $230.7 million in revenue during June, representing a 23.5% increase compared to the same month in the previous year. The majority of this revenue, $228 million, originated from “other authorized games,” showing a 23.7% rise. Peer-to-peer gaming contributed $2.7 million, an increase of 9.4%. FanDuel dominated the online casino market with $53.3 million in revenue (a 48.2% increase), followed by DraftKings at $43.6 million (a 6.3% increase) and BetMGM at $30.2 million (a 35.3% increase). Other significant contributors included Borgata, Caesars Palace, and Hard Rock Bet, demonstrating substantial growth.
Sports betting revenue also showed impressive gains, increasing by 52.9% to reach $91.9 million. Online platforms accounted for the vast majority of this amount, generating $91.2 million. Conversely, revenue from retail sportsbooks experienced a significant 48.5% drop, totaling only $600,000. FanDuel maintained its leadership in this sector, with revenue reaching $35.8 million (a 22.9% increase), followed by DraftKings at $24.3 million (a 69.2% increase). BetFanatics demonstrated exceptional growth, experiencing a remarkable 571.3% surge to $12 million in mobile betting revenue. The total sports betting handle for June reached $790.4 million, with online wagers comprising $755 million. Year-to-date figures from the DGE revealed over $6 billion in total handle and $558.2 million in revenue, representing a 9.2% hold rate.
June’s results, while slightly lower than May’s record-breaking $614.7 million in gaming revenue, maintained strong momentum. May’s performance featured substantial gains across all sectors, including a 28.5% increase in iGaming, a 30.2% rise in sports betting, and a 10.9% increase in casino win. The ongoing expansion of iGaming and the resilience of the online betting market continue to benefit operators. With positive year-to-date results and ongoing regulatory developments, industry stakeholders will closely monitor the performance of the third quarter, particularly in anticipation of the NFL season and potential new market entries.
